Maximum Dry Density given Density Compaction Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Dry Density = Minimum Dry Density/Density Compaction Ratio
γ_dmax = γ_dmin/DCR
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Dry Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Maximum Dry Density is the highest density that a soil sample can achieve when compacted at its optimum moisture content under standard or modified effort.
Minimum Dry Density - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Minimum Dry Density is the lowest density achieved by compacting a soil sample using standardized methods. This is measured in the laboratory or in the field during construction projects.
Density Compaction Ratio - Density Compaction Ratio is the ratio of minimum dry density to maximum dry density.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minimum Dry Density: 3.82 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 3.82 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

What is Density Compaction?

Compaction is a process that brings about an increase in soil density or unit weight, accompanied by a decrease in air volume.The degree of compaction is measured by dry unit weight and depends on the water content and compactive effort.

How to Calculate Maximum Dry Density given Density Compaction?
